Me & my baby... "Angel". She's still back in Vegas. Shame since the weather has been perfect up here

Day one. I left Eagle Vail and this weather on what would turn into a 9 day trip. My agenda was to see my Mom & Dad. I figured anything else was just a bonus. I figured warm weather wasn't going to suck either. Many big thanks to my cousin Connie. She was able to swing me a employee compainion pass. She made all this happen which I just can't thank her enough for.

Denver and DIA (Denver International Airport)... crappy weather the whole way. Not going to miss this one bit.

I figure airports are the saddest and happiest places around. You have people leaving, sometimes forever, and others are having reunions, sometimes after long periods. It's not unusual to see tears of joy and sarrow within ten feet of eachother. I love to people watch while waiting for a plane. Every type of person is running thru there.

My flight got pushed back a couple hours so I strolled around the airport. Road the train to the smoking lounge and talked to Megan. This is me doing just that. Told you I took a picture honey (grin). I met some guy at the smoking lounge who was going back to Airzona after seeing his daughter thru heart surgery. He asked about the tattooing biz. Intresting single serving friend.

Security ... A "How to Travel with Tattoo Machines" write up is coming soon.

I always get a flash from the Twilite Zone, with the deamon ripping the plane to shreads, every time I sit over the wing... and then to be raining on top of it all. Fooook Meee. Course everytime I fly into a large city I look out and wonder how many people are having sex. I thought I was the only one until I heard George Carlin say the same thing.

Back home. Las Vegas. Warm weather. Lights. Life. Not to mention that it was late... and here's the kicker... nothing was closed. Hot damn.

Screaming back to the strip

Mom, Dad & I had a little late night, welcome home dinner at Johnny Rockets. I hadn't eaten there since Dad and I went to Maimi. Best burger and shakes around. If you get a chance... eat there ... and then thank god you're not a vegan. I know there are some who say In And Out are the burger champs of the world, and I couldn't agree more.. but In&Out Urge is the best fast food burger. Johnnys' is the best sit and hang burger. Trust me.

Dads' new stomping grounds. He said it's old west politics out there now... which is intresting to say the least. Seemed like a decent little town. Still I'd much rather live in Vegas.

After a night to recharge my batteries, I blew thru a twelve hour session in Vegas. I had limited time and lots of thigs to do.

My Diet for the day.... 3 energy drinks... 2 cups of coffee... 2 Snicker power bars... and a small package of cheese and crackers. Everything a growing boy needs.

Dad and Granny looking over a few new designs. I'm going to put a broken leash on his arm with a big chain wrapping around the bicep. Oh hell yeah. You may have seen the pictures of the blue tiger and tribal I already gave him. They aren't kidding when they say tattoos are addictive

Showcase at the MGM. Best place to watch a movie starting at midnight. If you sneak in thru the back way you can almost totally miss the strip. Almost. And when you live in Vegas the less amount of time spent on the strip the better.

My good buddy Steve Carr is doing a comic and used me as one of the charcters. Pretty close I must say. It was awesome seeing me in that kind of format. Steve used to draw Green Lantern back in the day. I can't wait to see his new book. Since it's still in produiction I think I hold off on talking about it... for now.

My crew at the Triangle Club. Had a great time here. Saw a buch of friends. Made some boyfriends raise an eyebrow. (you know who you are) The M.O.M. group has been my homegroup since I came to Vegas as a rookie. It's funny to watch a group grow and change. There's a handful of us that have been there for multi years. My life has been changed once or twice in those rooms without question. I love those people.

Ok. Your in Vegas and you're looking for something to grub on. Go to the Galleria out on Sunset. Go to the food court and enjoy the best Gyros in Nevada. Soooooo fucking good. Ask for Soph. Or say "what's up" to Costa or Yianni. Tell em Torgo sent ya. You won't be disappointed. When I was there they just got a peoples choice award from the review journal (Las Vegas' main paper). I think they were voted best mediterranean food... or something like that.

Vegas - House


This is my old house in Vegas. Well.. one of the three places I lived

Vegas - House


My old house. The reason for the two toned wall... Well.. I spray painted a big American flag design. I was pissed when I looked around the neighborhood and noticed that no one was putting flags out anymore. Attention spans are just way too short.

I went tooling down the strip and caught the new Wynn Casino. Their sign is pretty cool. That Wynn block sigh moves up and down with a changing LCD screen. Groovy.

If your looking for a great place to play pool, check out Mickeys Cues & Brews on the corner of Easter and Warm Springs. 24 hour pool hall.. God I miss that. I spent my last six months in Vegas here... at least five nights a week. I played a few games the day I left for Colorado.

Best late night bowling. Black lights, fog machines, cheap prices.

We headed to Lost Angles for a little family get together. Very cool to see the family for the first time in years

Mom and I left the next morning for Disneyland. Great big thanks going out to our friend from Vail, Ken. He hooked us up big time. I was bummed he was in Hawaii when we came thru, but I'm pretty sure he wasn't. His co-worker, Tabi, was our pass to the inside. Real nice guy. Pointed us in the right directions. This picture was on our way out of the magic kingdom. Notice the new hat. Hell yeah. Old skool rulz.

I dug it, but I could never pull it off at a black tie affair

New rule for Disneyland. Don't go during the day. Or if you do don't fight the crowds for the rides. We hung out for a little while but then went back to hotel. We went back to the park after the sun went down and holy shit.. it was a whole new world. Fewer kids... much shorter lines... cooler. Trust me... do Disney at night

Sunny day at Disney

We ran into these two at the Cali Adventure ride "Soar". Very cool ladies. One had pins of A Nightmare Before Chrismas the other had Classic Disney charcters. I figure we'll be seeing them on some Discovery Channel thing sooner or later. Twins who love Disney. I'm real sorry this pic didn't come out as well as I would've liked.

We grabbed a little lunch at some New Orleans themed place. Food sucked but at least it filled us up. Never trust a french dip that is made with an ice cream scoop

On the way to the parks from our hotel. Still more freaking people

me and mom after a long, fun day.

We need a little go-go juice at mid day. Great live music at this place.

Burbon St. just outside the Tresure Island ride. I kept looking for the Girls Gone Wild crew or at least some chick looking to score some beads

This lego dude actually snores... all night long.... freaky... poor guy needs flo-naze

A scene from the smoking section... One of the things they do is a canoe around the lake... can't figure out why someone would want to paddle in that kind of heat... give me splash mountain
